BUSINESS DRIVES DIANA OFF PERCH Famous Winged Statne at Madi- son- Square Garden Going New York, April 24-—~Madison Bquare Garden, scene of the last democratic national convention, a landmark since 1890, a maglc name since 1875, will pass out of the ple- ture early in May. Wreckers then will lay jack, adze and crowbar to probably New York's most widely known institution to make way for the new 28.story home of the New York Life Insurance Company, The towered arena, surmounted by forlorn Diana drawing stringles bow. against the nortb wind, will be re. duced to rubble:in a few months, Madison Square Garden, there have been two bulldings, was origin- ally the abandoned passengenr station of the old Harlem Railroad. Harlem trains from Albany In the late '60s were towed there, down Fourth ave. | nue from 42nd street, becauss steam power in the heart of the city was deemed unsafe, Commodore Vanderbilt captured the Harlem line and subordinated it to his own Hudson River Rail- road. The Harlem station was closed when he opened Grand Central sta- tion farther north, P. T. Barnum, with a showman's eye, saw the possibflitiey ot the de- serted trainshed. It covered 32 city lots, the largest enclosure in Man- ‘hattan, and he leased it for his clr- cus, opening ita long career as a con- course for athletic meets, monster concerts and horseshows. It was also known under its present name from then on, save for four years-as “Gil- more’s Garden” during a tenancy of the ‘bandmaster. The trainshed ws replaced by the present structifte in 1889, The new bullding was designed by Stanford Ite, who more than a decade later wi Mot there by Harry K. Thaw. It was flnanced by a syndicate com- prilsng J, Plerpont Morgan, D. 0. Mills and pther leading spirits in Horse Show assoclation, It was for! mally opened before 17,000 people on June 16, 1890, with Edward Strauss and his orchestra and two grand bal- lets, The shows, political conventions, balls, mass meetitgs and national sporting events held in tha Garden in the subsequent 35 years are fa- millar history, Also, during this per- lod, the value of the bullding, which cost $3,000,000 to erect, dwindled to a mere $160,000 when the New York Life bought f{t in at foreclosure auction in 1916, The total considera- tion was $2,000,000, land and all, Because the Garden never pald . nanclally, it had to go.

C, April 24.~Every |department ahd Institution of North | | Carolina has been placed on a budg- | ot basis, as a result of leglslation passed by the 19256 general assein- bly, The act exempts the late high {way commission, whicch always has operated on its own funds as a separdte portion of the government, and which will continue as hereto- | fore, The governor, under the new law, becomes the real financial head of the state. He is vested with the power of drawing up, after consult ing with the budget commission, the revenye and appropriation bills each two years, and he is charged with responsibility to see that appropri- ations are balanced by revenues. Department heads are brought di- rectly under the governor's control by the new law. He has been giv- | en the -power to Investigate the | cost and methods of operation used | by every department and institution | and may recommend to the legisla- | ture such changes as he feels are necessary to effect economies in gov- | ernment, He may order drastic re. | organization of departments if he | ’hawln that thereby the state's monies | may be saved. | | . Heretofors numerous independent | |appropriation measures for individ- | ual institutions have been passed by | lack legiglature. The result has | heen that the general appropriation Dbill seldom, if ever, carried amounts covering all state expenses. In ad- | dition a number of institutions, and ! practically every department, had |the power to draw on the stats | | treasurer for funds and this resulted | |in large overdrafts of the general | funds. As an outcome ot this pol- | fey it has been estimated by the state auditor that at the closs of the fiscal period, June 30, 1825, the state will face a deficit in its general fund of close ,to $9,000,000. | The new policy will become effec- tive July 1, 1925. After that date | |all departments and institutions will | | have to keep expenditures within |the definits amount fixed in the ap- | | propriation bill for their operations. | | The state highway commission | | derives its revenues from the four | | cept tax on gasoline and the auto | | license taxes. Out of this income the sinking fund for the road bond | issues is cared for, as well as all| operating and maintenance expenses | |of the commission. | | 2 LG BRITONS TURN TO TENNIS | London, April 24.—The increasing | popularity of tennis among Britons| |1s giving the professional the time | | ot his life.
